Job Description:

We invite applications for four fully funded PhD positions in the field of data-assisted computational modeling of particulate multiscale and multiphysics flows. These positions are part of the newly founded Christian Doppler Laboratory for Data-Assisted Simulations of Complex Flows.

The PhD projects target data-assisted surrogates (e.g. recurrence CFD, universal physics transformers) to reach real-time capability and ultimately build digital process twins of complex particulate flows, such as moving and fluidized bed reactors and rotary kilns. Besides dealing with highly relevant, fundamental questions on data-assisted modeling, these projects will contribute to the reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions of important industrial processes.

Duties and responsibilities:

Conduct research on modeling, optimization, and control strategies for biological processes in the pharmaceutical industry. The research aims to make conventional operating strategies more efficient, resource-conscious, and cost-effective. This is expected to reduce ecological footprint, minimize resource consumption, and lower production costs, making local routine manufacturing more attractive. These activities are part of an FFG-funded project carried out in collaboration with several industrial and academic partners.

The project tasks, in order of priority, include:

• Modeling of a fermentation unit (fed-batch, various laboratory scales) using data-driven, hybrid, or mechanistic modeling approaches.

•  Observer design with intended soft sensor application (model-based estimation of product concentration)

•  Design of model-based optimization algorithms

• Implementation algorithms in a simulation environment, followed by deployment on the real system

Duties and responsibilities:

• Lead and manage all aspects of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), in close collaboration with the center’s “Sicherheitsvertrauensperson” (SVP) to ensure legal compliance and risk control.

• Promote and embed a proactive safety culture across in-house operations and project activities.

•  Provide strategic HSE support to research and development projects from early planning through execution.

• Support operational units on-site, including laboratories and pilot plants, regarding occupational health and safety measures.

• Conduct and document thorough HSE risk assessments tied to new projects, new equipment, laboratory, or pilot plant.

•  Define, implement, and communicate effective control measures to mitigate identified risks.

•  Organize, lead, and follow up on internal and external HSE audits.

•  Investigate accidents and incidents, perform root cause analysis, and ensure appropriate corrective and preventive actions.

•  Design, implement, and document HSE training programs, safety instructions, and awareness campaigns.

•  Maintain up-to-date HSE documentation and ensure compliance with applicable laws, standards, and corporate policies.

•  Act as the company's designated safety specialist, contributing to continuous improvement of HSE performance and systems.
